Sociologists' Tales: Contemporary Narratives on Sociological Thought and Practice
Editat de Katherine Twamley, Mark Doidge, Andreas Cotten Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 apr 2015
Navigating a career in sociology can be challenging, but as these essays reveal, it is also intensely rewarding. Sociologists’ Tales brings together the thoughts and experiences of key UK sociologists—many internationally recognized—as they reflect on why they chose a career in sociology, how they did it, and what advice they have for the next generation. After an introduction outlining the landscape, approach, and findings from these narratives, the collection is organized thematically, providing rare insight into the field and its importance. The first book of its kind, Sociologists’ Tales will appeal to students and young sociologists contemplating their future.

Recenzii
"What a delicious, down-to-earth collection of essays, offering exciting adventures in, through, and beyond sociology. They show how, deep-down, everyone is a sociologist but what a privilege it is to do sociology for a living."
“A valuable collection for anyone interested in sociology; as a subject to study at school or university, as a field of research, or as a way of life.”
“A remarkable book joining together the guilty pleasure of the higher gossip with genuinely powerful self-reflection—bluntly, hard to put down.”
“A richly textured collection of reflections that provides a useful reminder of the potential for sociologists to contribute to a better understanding of our societies in these troubled times.”
“A fascinating and wide ranging collection, the book weaves a rich tapestry of narratives which together tell the story of a very British sociological imagination.”
“Immensely beneficial for students studying sociology at A-level and for teachers attempting to enthuse their students to maintain a passion for the discipline.”
“While focusing on British sociology—and sociologists—this inspiring book takes stock of international debate on the discipline and its future. A brilliant celebration of sociology. Highly recommended.”
“These excellent reflections on sociologists’ lives tell an often inspiring, sometimes sobering tale. A must-read for novices and seasoned scholars alike.”
"Recommended."
“Sociology is not just a career or a discipline but a vocation and way of thinking, and Sociologists’ Tales conveys this movingly at a time of increasing university neoliberalism.”
